skywalks
Elevated pedestrian bridges
Skywalks are elevated enclosed walkways connecting buildings, allowing pedestrians to cross streets or open spaces without going outside.
Common in downtown areas of cold-weather cities like Minneapolis, skywalks create climate-controlled networks linking offices, hotels, and shopping centers: You can walk the entire downtown through the skywalk system.
Also called skyways.
